Thanks Jim. I'll post the patch to the libaio folks also so we
can keep things in synch.

That's a question for Julian (cc'ed).
Thanks... but... you... never... said... why?
Because libaio is often not included in the distro.
You mean there are distros that do not have a libaio devel package?
In order to avoid breaking the build we either had to include
checks in the Makefile for the existence of the library and build
if necessary, or just statically build within the tree.
Assuming the libaio devel package is available, how is this different
than the recent build break that required me to install openssl-devel
packages?
We chose the latter since it was the cleanest approach.
warning: maintaining and monitoring an external package that your
system depends on is always fraught with issues, but it your makework :(
